Ahan Vashi, founder of The Quantamental Investor (TQI) in 2022, brings deep experience in equity research, private equity, and software engineering. TQI empowers investors to pursue financial freedom through bold, active investing and proactive risk management. Members gain exclusive access to premium equity research, risk-optimized model portfolios, proprietary tools, and a vibrant, collaborative community.
Here are TQI’s latest calls to action:
“With the US government embroiled in an extended shutdown and a recent escalation in tariff wars with China, the ‘goldilocks’ macroeconomic backdrop of strong GDP growth, low inflation, and low unemployment could rapidly deteriorate in the weeks ahead. Consequently, the unabated rally that has carried broad equity market indices to the highest trading multiples since the dot-com bubble peak could get challenged as we head into the year-end.”
“To navigate this highly uncertain environment, at TQI, we are pursuing ‘bold, active investing with proactive risk management.’ Within equities, we are focusing our investments on secular growth trends that are immune to near-term macro headwinds. One such trend is artificial intelligence, wherein we have recently increased our stake in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), with the semiconductor giant finally set to experience much-awaited, AI-powered hypergrowth. Additionally, we are finding incredible value in SaaS names like monday.com (MNDY) that have experienced sharp year-to-date corrections due to the threat of AI disruption but are in fact AI beneficiaries.”
“Furthermore, we are proactively guarding our model portfolio strategies against tail risks of deflation and stagflation using option-based tactical hedges.”
